## When to use

- Drafting an offer letter with compensation, start date, equity, and terms
- Building an onboarding checklist and first-week plan for a new hire
- Structuring a performance review with self-assessment prompts and calibration prep
- Benchmarking compensation or modeling band placement and equity refreshes

## Key concepts

### Commands vs skills

Commands are explicit slash workflows (/draft-offer, /onboarding, /performance-review, /policy-lookup, /comp-analysis, /people-report); skills are domain knowledge Claude applies automatically.

### recruiting-pipeline skill

Tracks and manages the recruiting pipeline across source, screen, interview, and offer stages.

### compensation-benchmarking skill

Benchmarks compensation against market data across base, equity, and total comp, backing the /comp-analysis command.

### employee-handbook skill

Answers questions about company policies, benefits, and procedures — PTO, expense, travel, remote work — behind /policy-lookup.

### people-analytics and org-planning

people-analytics analyzes attrition trends, engagement signals, and diversity metrics; org-planning handles headcount planning, org design, and team structure.

### interview-prep skill

Creates structured interview plans — competency-based questions, scorecards, and debrief templates.

## Gotchas

- Primarily designed for Cowork, Anthropic's agentic desktop app, though it also works in Claude Code
- Commands run standalone but are supercharged only when you connect your HRIS, ATS, and other tools
- It's a plugin bundling nine skills, not a single skill; skills fire automatically while commands are invoked explicitly
- Compensation and people outputs are drafts to review, not authoritative HR, legal, or tax advice
- /draft-offer needs role, level, location, and comp details before it produces a complete letter
